| History of Activity | ||
| In 2007, we celebrated our 19th anniversary of the event. Mardi Gras was first organized by Resurrection's Faith Formation department as their yearly fundraiser. The money raised helps defray the cost of faith formation expenses. The 10th grade Faith Sharing groups still take care of the food booths and the 9th grade students and parents are responsible for the games. | ||
